What’s next?
Despite our enormous growth, there are still undergraduates we have yet to reach.
To achieve our vision of a society where social background is not a barrier to career progression,
we want to work with 3,300 undergraduates a year by 2027. This will enable us to grow
sustainably, while continuing to prioritise those with the most need.
We also want to grow our reach across the UK, to ensure more eligible undergraduates can
receive our support, wherever they live, work or study.
More applications
Attract more applications from across the
UK, so the spread of undergraduates we
support is more nationally representative.
More opportunities
Grow the role of our university and
employer partners, widening the range
of available sector opportunities for
our undergraduates.
More regional diversity
By 2027, we will support
Increase the regional diversity of our
students, offering opportunities closer to
where they live and study and expanding
the geographic coverage of our partners.

Through the coaching, mentorship, professional development, and networking
opportunities provided by upReach, I have been able to develop my skills and
con昀椀dence. I have now been offered a training contract by Slaughter and May,
something that I never thought was possible. I am where I am today because
of upReach.
